VISIONARY UNDERGROUND<\/strong>\u00a0[ENGLAND]
\n100 vibes<\/strong>\u00a0(feat. aref durvesh & matthew barley)\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\ni played a track from\u00a0dj feelfree<\/strong>\u00a0today, one of the main forces behind the uk asian drum’n’breaks crew\u00a0visionary underground<\/strong>. i use the term drum’n’breaks intentionally, as it’s also the title of the album from which the track ‘sonic solution’ came from – ‘nasha<\/a>\u00a0– eastern drum’n’breaks’. it’s a top flight compilation of some of the finest dark, alternative asian music being made in the uk right now. to generalise (which you know i love to do…) it’s much like\u00a0asian dub foundation<\/strong>\u00a0when they roll out the drum’n’bass welcome mat. there’s heaps more mp3 downloads on the\u00a0visionary underground site<\/a>\u00a0– i’ll check them all out and report back one day soon…
\nAIR<\/strong>\u00a0[FRANCE]
\nplanet vega<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nplayed a great remix today of the new\u00a0air<\/strong>\u00a0single ‘alpha beta gaga’. the mix is by\u00a0mark ronson<\/strong>\u00a0and features\u00a0rhymefest<\/strong>\u00a0dropping his mc skills all over it. sadly, no free mp3 of that one, but check out this li’l rarity from the\u00a0grand royal<\/strong>\u00a0compilation ‘at home with the groovebox’ (courtesy of the old faithful,\u00a0epitonic<\/a>)
\nLIMITED EXPRESS (HAS GONE)<\/strong>\u00a0[JAPAN] (pictured)
\ndowntoborn (edit)<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nsadly this is not a full-length mp3, rather a short edit designed to act as a teaser for their 2002 album ‘feeds you!’, released on john zorn’s\u00a0tzadik<\/a>\u00a0label. i played their version of\u00a0the la’s<\/strong>\u00a0‘there she goes’ today – now that’s what i call a cover version, pretyy much nothing like original. if\u00a0the boredoms<\/strong>\u00a0had a younger punk sibling, then\u00a0limited express (has gone)<\/strong>\u00a0could probably play them in the bio-pic. stuterring, off-kilter, psychadelic pop-punk. everything you could wish for in a band, really.
\nGIRL WITH A MONKEY\u00a0<\/strong>[SWEDEN]
\nmark my words\u00a0<\/strong>mp3<\/a>
\na great example of someone who found this blog, emailed me some of their music and it finally found its way on air on today’s show \ud83d\ude42 how curiously the world works… although apparently not quite so strange – although\u00a0the band<\/a>\u00a0are ostensibly a swedish six-piece, apparently the singer (monika kovacs) was brought up in western australia. which, from where i’m sitting, might as well be as a far away as sweden…
\nFORMER SELV<\/strong>\u00a0[US: MICHIGAN]
\nnichiyobi<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nthanks to\u00a0smart music<\/a>\u00a0for turning me on to this one.\u00a0former selv<\/strong>\u00a0is another name for detroit-born\u00a0jerry abstract<\/strong>, now resident in seattle. apparently, he’s a techno boy at heart (wit a 12″ on\u00a0t.raumschmiere<\/strong>‘s\u00a0shitkatapult<\/a>), but as\u00a0former selv<\/strong>\u00a0it’s broken beat electronica that’s to the fore. check out their brief\u00a0interview<\/a>\u00a0for more info.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
